I agree, out side of the new plus 8 track (Electric Deluxe) I have not been
to impressed with Detroit releases. I would say that the most avant techno
of late has come from the likes of Marco Carola, Gaeton Parisio, and even
some Adam Beyer releases (specifically the release on Conform "Lost and
Found"??). And even the previously mentioned music is still just a
"refined" techno. I think Detroit has become stagnant, but do not get me
wrong this is not a negative view. I think the next few years will be very
exciting for Detroit music and look forward to some of the "next generation"
producers. Any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Your only stating your opinion and there nothing wrong with that.

Because he's been on the experimental tip lately but I see what your
saying, I feel the same way about many Detroit artist nowadays.
But lets look at this whole "tribal techno" movement that I'm not
especially a big fan of, would it have even happened if it wasnt for
Jeff Mills? that's basically what it is, just a bunch of Jeff Mills
rehash from 3 or 4 years ago.
Newer doesn't necessarily mean better but many Detroit techno or former
Detroit techno artist feel they have to change for the sake of progress.
When I listen to Detroit techno its mostly the classic stuff because
that had a formula that worked, yes it is considered dated compared to
today's dance trends but like they say newer doesn't necessarily mean
better and alot of what I hear in electronica/ techno culture today is
really not that new or better, its just more eclectic and refined due to
technological advancements.
